I just got another one as I sold the first one I had.The first one was of the first run and had the dentent cut all the way up,the lock was hard to opperate and the dentent was weeker than I like.
So today I got one of the updated ones.It is much better.I done some adjusting to it to get it perfect.The blade pivot was to loose so I tightened the pivot.Be careful when doing this,it only takes a very slight adjustment to make a big differance.Turning to much may be why some have had the pivot screw to break.
It also had the very slight up and down blade play and the compression lock was IMO to far over on the tang.Both of these problems were taken care of by slightly loosening one of the stop pin screws,by useing 2 T6 torx drivers,one on each side and rotateing the stop pin until the compression lock engaged the tang in the correct spot.It must be shaped like the ones in a Sebenza because when rotateing it the lock went from not engageing the tang at all to going almost all the way across the tang.This is a feature I was glad to see.After setting the stop pin in the correct place retighten the screws being sure not to turn the pin while tightening them.
Here is some more info on screw sizes.The clip side pivot screw is a T7,besure it is seated all the way in the screw.The walls for the T7 in this screw are shallow.The other side or front of the pivot is a 3/32 allen.
Over all with the improvement I really like it,I can even opperate the lock with my thumb.
The one thing I still just hate is the pivot screw.Please replace it with one like on the Military if at all possible.
